y PEORIA, Illinois, girl who went to a
ball the other evening wearing a pair
of new shoes soon found herself in
such agony that she went to the dress
ing room between dances and took
them off. She had hardly removed the
shoes before her feet pulled up to such
an astonishing size as to make it i'm
possible to put the shoes ON again.
No others being obtainable she was
forced to pass the remainder of the eve
ming without dancing, and eventually
to go home in her stocking feet.

THE cattle market at Kansas City
and other points, has picked up consid-
erably of late. The prices were
brought down by Il rushing in of stock
early in the season, for lack of feed
to winter the brutes. This rush is
now over, and if stock men do not
make the mistake of holding to long in
he spring, good prices will be realized.

declares that he will not take man back,
He claims that there are entirely toe

The San Francisco Call and the New

long range the prospective merits of
southern California and Florida as winter
resorts. The Call writes up Florida as a
great eyerglade with few patches of dry
land here and there, Astounding in snakes,
e!GsSgitoas and dozen ot'rar tropical
pests, in primitive stage OF social
development, inhabited by faw elRr
waited, listless people whom il cannot
raise enough to feed and handicapped
by damp, enervating climate. Southern
California it credits with being the
very opposite of all this, with its dry,
bracing climate, its freedom from reptile
and insect pests, its garden of the
United States its brightest people in
the country and other advantages. The
Times Democrat demurs to both state.
ments; declares there is more desert in
California than eyerglAde in Florida that
there are more than twice as many Tilt
crate people in California as in Florida
that mosquitoes are unknown in Florida
during tho winter months, that there are
no hotels in California, outside Of
San Francisco, that can exceed
and few that can equal the
magnificent hotels to be found in all til,
towns of Southern Florida, and that tn,
climate of Florida is much the milde
and more pleasant, ranging from So t,

California ranges from 40 to 50a. If tn
disputants could devise some inexpensiy
method by which their readers could yiai
both localities and test their respectiv
merits in person next winter, il woul
add very decidedly to their interest i
